What do when what we want to read is only available in eBook format and has DRM?
The reason for stripping DRM is so we can use what we paid for when we want.
Using Calibre, I can take an ePub that I've stripped the DRM from and convert it to LRF, LIT, and/or Mobipocket. This means that my investment can have a life beyond the initial read. PLus, if the ePub's content is not available in a format that my device can handle, I can still have access to the content. What it is is a win-win situation. The publisher makes money. The author(s) make money, and I get to read what I want.
